Weblets are Java programs
that run in a browser, using
DirectDOM to directly
manipulate displayed
documents. Like most
Web-based programs, weblets
pose a threat to system
security if they're
mishandled. Fortunately,
weblets come with built-in
security in the form of the
Java sandbox. This
final installment of a
three-part series on
DirectDOM and weblet-based
development shows you how to
use the sandbox to your best
advantage. With simple,
working examples, this
article demonstrates what a
weblet can and can't do by
default, and also shows you
how to get around the
constraints of the sandbox
when the situation calls for
it.
